GENERAL DESCRIPTION Generally speaking, conventional air conditioners cool the entire enclosed environment. They act as “heat exchangers”, requiring an interior unit (evaporator) to blow cool air into the interior and an exterior unit (condenser) to exhaust exchanged heat to the out- doors.

CONSTRUCTION, SPECIFICATIONS & DATA Basic Construction The MovinCool Spot Cooling System is compact in construction because the con- denser and the evaporator are enclosed in one unit. The interior is divided into three sections. The upper front face is equipped with the evaporator, while the lower front face contains the drain tank.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM 1. Compressor The compressor used for the unit is hermetically sealed. The compressor and the compressor motor are in one casing. A. Compressor Theory of Operation The scroll utilizes an involute spiral which, when matched with a mating scroll form, generates a series of crescent-shaped gas pockets between the two members.
Page 19
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM 4) By the time the gas arrives at the center port, discharge pressure has been reached. 5) Actually, during operation, all six gas passages are in various stages of com- pression at all times, resulting in nearly continuous suction and discharge. NOTE: Upon compressor shut-off, the compressor may run backward for a moment or two until internal pressures equalize.
Page 20
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM 3. Capillary Tube The capillary tube is a long thin tube and its line flow resistance serves as an expansion valve. The length and the inner diameter of the capillary tube are determined according to the capacity of refrigeration system, operating conditions and the amount of refrigerant.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 1. Basic Operation of Classic Plus 26 Electrical Circuit There are two basic components used to control the operation of the Classic Plus 26 Electrical System: • Control Panel Assembly • Control Box The Control Panel Assembly contains the Control Panel, Control Board (with inputs for the freeze and room temperature thermistors), drain switch, and a microprocessor.

Page 25
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 3. Fan Motor The fan motor is a single phase, induction type two-speed motor. The motor rotates fans on the evaporator side and the condenser side at the same time. Specifications: Rated Voltage: 230 volts 60 Hz Rated Output: 559 watts 355 watts CF1 (White) CF2 (Brown/White)
Page 26
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 6. Condensate Pump Kit (optional) The Classic Plus 26 model comes standard with a drain tank, which collects the water that forms on the evaporator during normal cooling operation. If the unit is required to operate continuously without periodic emptying of this tank, a condensate pump may be needed.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR Before troubleshooting the system, the following inspection should be performed. 1. Inspection of Power Source Voltage Check the voltage of the power source. Single phase 208/230 volts (60Hz) Check the operation and condition of the fuse or circuit breaker in the power source. 2.
Page 28
TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR In case of trouble, perform the following inspection before disassembly. 5. Inspection of Spine Fins To inspect the spine fins of either the evaporator or condenser you must remove the air filters. After removal of the air filters, inspect the spine fins for any dirt, dust, lint, or debris that may have caused poor cooling performance of the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR 13. Inspection of Drain Switch Check for continuity between terminals 1 and 2. TOP OF Continuity should exist. With switch depressed, BASE continuity should not exist between terminals 1 PLATE and 2. If continuity is not as specified above, replace the switch.
Page 40
TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR 16. Inspection of High Pressure Switch Check for continuity across both terminals of the high pressure switch or the J104 connector. With pressure equalized when the unit is stopped, there should be continuity across both terminals and the J104 connector. If there is no continuity (open circuit), replace the high pressure switch.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR • BRAZED FITTING AND ITS CLEARANCE In general, the strength of brazing filler metal is lower than that of the base metal. So, the shape and clearance of the brazed fitting are quite important. As for the shape of the brazed fitting, it is necessary to maximize its adhesive area.
Page 42
TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR B. Removal of Refrigeration Cycle Components CAUTION: 1. Before any refrigeration cycle component can be replaced, it is necessary to recover the refrigerant using standard recovery procedures and equipment. 2. To prevent oxidation, dry nitrogen should be conducted (flow rate 1 liter/min) through the pinch-off tube during any brazing operation.
